General-duty citation text
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to: A. THE HAZARD OF THE RELEASE OF SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE FROM THE TWO 2100 GALLON BLEACH STORAGE TANKS ONTO THE FLOOR OF THE CHEMICAL CONTROL ROOM IN THE BASEMENT OF THE ANNEX BUILDING THROUGH A BREACH IN THE CONTAINMENT DIKE SURROUNDING THE TANKS. RELEASE OF 14SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE SOLUTION FROM OUT OF THE CONTAINMENT ONTO THE FLOOR OF THE CHEMICAL CONTROL ROOM WOULD INCREASE THE GENERATION OF CHLORINE GAS FROM THE SPILL AND CORRESPONDINGLY INCREASE THE HAZARDS TO THE RESPONDING PERSONNEL OF EXCESSIVE CHLORINE GAS EXPOSURE PLUS ACCIDENTAL SKIN AND EYE CONTACT WITH THE INDUSTRIAL- STRENGTH LIQUID BLEACH. AMONG OTHER METHODS, ONE FEASIBLE AND ACCEPTABLE ABATEMENT METHOD TO CORRECT THIS HAZARD IS TO SEAL THE HOLE THROUGH THE DIKE THROUGH WHICH THE LIQUID BLEACH FEED PIPE PASSES.
